Fundraising Heroes - How to Set Up Your Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Fundraising Campaign

As a Fundraising Hero, you can raise funds for a campaign by creating your own personal Peer-to-Peer fundraising page. This guide walks you through the full process from invitation to publishing your page.

Before You Start

To create a P2P campaign:

You must be invited by the fundraiser via email.
The parent campaign must be published before you can publish your own page.
Each hero creates their own individual fundraising page linked to the parent campaign.
